Perception

Make me uncomfortable. Fill my mouth 

with a ball gag and cinch it till it cuts

the sensitive skin of my lips. Press 

my face into the carpet, bind my wrists

to my ankles. Gather my hair and tie it,

yank it back until it stretches the muscles 

in my neck, until it's hard to breathe.

Twist me, bend me, stretch me, 

until I can't stay in my head,  until

I have to live in my body. 

Let me feel every little twinge, every

pinch. And then, when you have

my complete attention, when I don't dare

move an inch, when I *can't* move an inch,

Torment me. Tease me. Treat me.

Because in this already tortured state,  

I can take it.
